Rome Must Perish

Gaius hurried over to explain, "Leader, after we occupied this village, this old man voluntarily approached us, saying he wanted to offer us help. At that time, we were eager to transfer the population and resources within the village to a temporary camp, so we agreed.

So, he ordered all the Scodisqi slaves to follow our instructions, voluntarily assisting us in transporting resources, finding those Segestica people hiding within houses and cellars, and uncovering the Nobles hidden among the Segestica citizens...

It was precisely because of the full cooperation of the Scodisqi slaves that we could evacuate this village so quickly. So when he requested ’not to go with other Scodisqi slaves to the temporary camp, but instead to stay here to see you,’ we discussed and agreed again. But unexpectedly, he didn’t stay put and sneaked out; this is all my fault!"

"Who do you mean by ’we’?" Maximus coldly asked.

"It’s Capito, Volenus, me, and Pigeris."

These are the four department Chief Officers I temporarily appointed to be responsible for the transfer and takeover of this village... Maximus’s mind turned, and his expression then softened, "This isn’t entirely your fault, we’ll let it slide this time, but be careful in the future. Let’s go inside first."

Gaius secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In the past, he didn’t feel anything when he just muddled along, but now that he had aspirations, standing beside Maximus felt a bit stressful.

"How have you arranged for our soldiers who will stay here tonight and these prisoners? Where are the transferred supplies temporarily stored?"

Maximus looked at the carriages entering the village and reminded, "You should know that tonight, there are not just over 3000 soldiers staying here, but also more than 6000 Segestica prisoners, including over 2000 Scodisqi slaves. Besides, we also brought a large amount of resources."
